Summary/Abstract: The article publishes information about the sanctuary on Mount Kara-Tau in Piedmont Crimea, which was investigated in 2016 after a barbaric robbery. As a result, a small ritual complex was discovered that existed in the boundaries of Late Scythian settlement in the second half of the 1st—2nd centuries AD. Features of ritual practice and types of votives show a significant similarity of the complex with the sanctuaries at the Gurzufskoe Sedlo, Eklizi-Burun and Tuar-Alan in the Crimea.
